A brighter future

This paper will narrow the field of school choice and will examine the impact of charter schools on National Percentile Rankings (NPR) from standardized test scores of charter and public schools in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. The study hypothesizes that charter attendance positively impacts test score NPRs for both elementary and middle school students. It will open with a brief introduction of charter schools and the literature surrounding them. Then, the data and methodology used in this study will be discussed, followed by the results.
